    My 5 year old daughter has been taking private skateboarding lessons with Kurtis at Skate Kids for…read more3 months now (a total of nine 1-hour lessons). From communicating with Kurtis via email to scheduling her lessons to paying online to the lessons themselves, our experience has been phenomenal all around. Kurtis is a fantastic instructor who loves sharing his passion of skateboarding with youth. He is so positive and helps encourage my daughter even when she's hesitant to try a new trick by focusing on the positive and reminding her to repeat to herself, "I can do it, I can do it" which I believe is such an awesome way to teach. He brings such a great energy to the lessons and I am so glad we chose to go with Skate Kids. I can't say enough great things about Kurtis as an instructor!

    After prepaying $99 for a private lesson for my daughter for her birthday, Kurtis stopped…read moreresponding to my emails and phone calls. Despite the sudden lack of response, we showed up at the designated skate park for my kid's private lesson with Justin Schultey to find... the skate park empty, closed off with yellow caution tape and a no-show from Justin. Despite repeated emails and phone calls, nobody has responded... if even to explain. I get that stuff happens, especially now, but there has been ample time for, at the minimum, a response from Kurtis.

    A quiet park, that can quite noisy when soccer is being played. On a football sunday, there was no…read moresoccer so my daughter and I took a leisurely walk around the park, following a Pokemon route that somebody had established (no worries if you have no idea what I'm talking about...somebody who plays Pokemon Go would understand). There are two tennis courts here, with lights allowing for nighttime play. There is also a small skate park. Alas, neither were being used...in fact, there were hardly any children around, even on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon.

    My daughter had a soccer game here on a Sunday morning, Sept 2022. While the soccer pitch is…read morelocated "across the street" Drake Park, we could not seem to find access to the lower field from Loma Vista, and made a left on Chester and another left in DeForest to access the small lot for the "Drake/Chavez Greenbelt Park." Assuming this is all part of the Drake Park proper, but it took a little intuition to find the entrance for our first visit. And still, the parking lot is small, filled with litter, human waste, and lots of broken auto glass... And it's about a 200 yard walk to the entrance of the artificial turf soccer field. Much of the human detritus in the parking lot is likely attributed to the considerable homeless population that is evident in the immediate area: dozens of people were camped out just across the street, in the dirt lot area adjacent to the river channel. That same dirt lot is variably covered with piles of demolition construction materials haphazardly dumped by who knows who? In pure defiance of posted signs prohibiting dumping. Other "unhoused Angelinos" seem to be wandering about the park, utilizing senses beyond my standard five (sight, smell, taste, hearing, and feeling) to experience things I can only imagine.... and a couple had set up camp in the park's landscaping adjacent to the walking path. Not so much unsafe as much as unsanitary This part of the park features what appears to be some kind of community garden - - locked and secured behind 10 foot chain-link fences. there is a public park restroom with only 2 of the 8 single seater stalls unlocked, and both are horrific inside. Some beautiful wall murals are marred by tagging. Much of the park here is adjacent to industrial yards, and most of the bordering landscape is littered with garbage. The soccer field is actually quite beautiful: artificial turf field with a perimeter fence. I laughed a little bit at the idea that this was a "green belt" and the soccer field was artificial turf... But there is certainly some actual real grass field in this park, and some California native plants along the periphery. So I guess that counts in the midst of This residential-industrial interface. The air was pretty heavy with the smell of oil refinery and low tide from the nearby river channel, which was probably a bigger deal to the soccer players than it was to me as a spectator. A generous three stars for the really nice soccer field and the fact that my truck windows weren't added to the considerable collection of broken auto window glass on the ground in the parking lot. My only other Long Beach Park frame of reference is Bluff Park, so I can confidently say this is nicer.... relative, though, that comparison is...
